I don't think it makes much difference in any case at this age - the main reason it might have an influence on value is if the spec was far short of standard UK which is doubtful on something like an A8 - more of an issue on a Golf where a UK spec car would have climate control as standard on many models, but an import might just get manual a/c or none at all.

It does not make much difference to the value of the car directly but for some reason insurance companies like to charge more for insuring imports so it reflects back to car value.
